Cool!

ah, this IS a show stopper, This is one clean ass build. Even tho the kit was crappy, you turned it out. Nice job. What kind of wheels are those?

[stump]

Wow...........nice work Andy.

Paint looks flawless, and the "no wing" makes it look clean.

cheers stump

Sweet model.

Your progress thread actually scared me so I cancelled my Fujimi Mak Sil and ordered one of Fujimi's stock ones. I am too lazy to mess around doing all that body work...hee hee

I have a huge favor, if you don't want to, no problem, I understand.

Could you take some picts. of your car more at eye level (horizon style shots) instead of looking down at the car?

Someting at this level, well actually I think I am below the horizon on this, so not as low perhaps.



You may ask, why?

I just use ref. material for my artworks that is all. I would luv to have some nice picts. of the Mak Sil so I could modify my silvias w/ that style kit (on paper that is).

Thx

Alfred

Looks great. :

But are the 'eyelids' painted on the inside of the lenses? They look a little off...

Very very nice!!! 9.9/10!
Some suggestions:
maybe panel lines?
and i think the front wheels need a little bit spacer

[spoolin12]

Hot.

Absolutely stuning

Nice work and beautiful paint. I love the whole car except the front bumper, i dont think it looks that real. But awesome job with the car!

[OzZySi]

Neat, I like that kit. Great color, and awesome job building it.

In reply to your various queries:
Bookshelf - I did wonder about white wheels but imo I thought it might look a bit too much of a whiteout so went with the silver as a contrast.
IImportSupra - The wheels are Aoshima S Part 19 inch Enkei NT03's.
Asaenz - I'll try and take some pics tomorrow night and send them to you.
Jay - The "eyebrows" are kit supplied decals (it's a Fujimi kit after all).
Yellow 15 - I did think about panel lines but because of the side skirts I'd lost the bottom of the door lines and some of the other panel lines are very indistinct around the rear bumper so decided against it in the end. As for the front wheels they're as far out in the arches as they can be - the front bumper lip is wider than the front of the side skirt so I think it makes things the wheels look more "inboard" than the actually are.
Thanks for the comments everybody.

With that in mind: VERY good work.

It's a stunner!! You've done Fujimi proud!! I hope whenever I decide to build mine, it comes out even half as good as yours!!
